ATG is an upfitter of trucks for various purposes.
From work trucks for fleet usage to personal upgrades to individual customers' trucks, you will do it all at ATG. The key concepts at this company are to make an installation work for the customer's needs, and to do it within the time that sales has specified.
The only real issue is that the sales staff don't know anything about being a mechanic.
The management team is outstanding. Leadership styles vary slightly, but are still highly effective. 

The staff at ATG is a good crew, very knowledgable, and most have been employed there for several years, and some have been there for over a decade. 

The company has a very good safety track record, due to their very sophisticated and detailed safety program. Members of both the staff and the management team voluntarily keep an eye out for safety measures to implement, using a highly proactive approach to guarantee employee safety, with safety reviews, monthly safety meetings, and taking suggestions from staff to implement further safety protocols. This company takes employee safety very seriously.

The hardest part of the job is the efficiency balance, offset by a lack of standardized practice and quality control. Employees must decide for themselves when a job is "good enough". The lack of standardized practice makes it impossible to train new hires to meet a standard of review. Other locations will turn out the same product in visibly differing ways, causing more warranty work to be done by certain locations, causing an undercut to company profitability, and an undercut to employee efficiency ratings.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the variety of work that you will perform. You will do everything from basic to semi-advanced mechanical work; basic body work, basic electrical work, metal working, welding, fabrication of parts, measuring, cutting, and punching metal to create parts for the installations you will perform. There is literally always something constructive to do, and there is never any "busy work" to do.

I got along with almost everyone right away, co-workers, support staff, and managers. Everyone I worked with directly was inviting, friendly, and made me feel like a part of the team from the start. Beginning work there was made as easy as it could possibly be as a  HIGHLY anxious person at the time.

The support staff made the job that much easier. I was coming from a small dealer in a smallish town where I was expected to do everything under the sun on my own, even wash customer cars when it came to it due to lack of support staff, so Kuni BMW was a breathe of fresh air when it came to that. You could properly sit at your desk undisturbed with petty tasks and focus on getting your own work done (as much as you can in a customer service job anyway).

The drive manager was on top of things and always willing to jump in with a problem customer when needed, his door was always open.

The pay is fair and honestly pretty completive. 

The master technicians are of course super knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you may have in order to clarify diagnosis's, etc, to the customer. If BMW is a new brand to you the resources to get any questions answered are easy to come by. Some of the mainline technicians though seemed to need babysat, so it wouldn't hurt to double check some of their work before shipping.

Work/life balance was reasonable enough given the position, and time off is almost always given if you're considerate give good advance notice.

The only thing that comes to mind as a major downside would be the meetings and training. The GM holds useless meetings that are "required" that do not pertain to the service department, and even if they did it could have easily been an email. There are zoom training courses that are held every few weeks that I also feel are a bit unnecessary for those that genuinely understand how to sell, and conversate with customers. 

I enjoyed working with my team and exceeding my client's expectations, while working under very difficult situations. For example: Moving into a new facility which created it's own set of obstacles. Such as; lack of space to stage client vehicles for repairs, park completed vehicles after repairs. This was primarily due to a large increase of new and used sales inventory. The increase from sales inventory caused an overall 50% reduction with workable shop space, and necessary service/repair equipment. Malfunctioning equipment, many repeated facility issues that received delayed and/or ineffective repairs, causing delays and reduced production opportunities. 

I enjoyed working with my peers, co-workers, clients, and vendors while performing at our most optimum levels, with consideration to the above challenges.

Upper Management seemed to have their hands tied, as I was often told. This made it more of a challenge to communicate my needs which ultimately lead to my departure.    

The hardest part of the job at Kuni, was the enormous amount of efforts needed to maintain high CSI but much more importantly, ESI. I am proud of my efforts to never allow the above mentioned obstacles  interfere with how I managed the department. We had some great months, both financially and with CSI/customer retention. I am disappointed that we were forced to face substandard support for our efforts and our opportunities as a service provider.

If you aren't part of the 'cool crowd' don't bother wasting your breath. The management is terrible and very unprofessional. The main lady that over sees centralized accounting is best friends with one of the managers and good friends with most of the other managers and supervisors and looks the other way on too many things. This place is NOT a healthy work environment. They promise so many opportunities for advancement but that's a lie. You will be stuck in your position that they hired you for with nothing but a 1% raise a year if you're lucky and absolutely no advancement opportunities unless you're part of the "cool crowd".  Save yourself and work somewhere else... You'll be happy you did. Its sad that they have such great core values set up from the top of the company but cant see that the office that is ran out of Vancouver follows anything but that. They put on a smiling face when the CEO's and big bosses come through but as soon as they leave its back to the sweat shop. You don't realize you're being abused until you leave and look back at it. Wish I wouldn't have wasted the time I did there.

Working here has had its ups and down. People here are great and very prosesional. The dealership really cares about the guests. The only issue is That you should be compensated more for selling 55k to 100k cars.  It's a different sale selling that prices car it's a want not a need. The gm is so disconnected with reality it not even funny.   He basically just shows up to get his car washed and hanging out in his office and not talk to anybody. They are a one priced store and are getting killed by competition. Despite the smoke and mirrors it's just another dealership that wants you to do more work for less. Recommendations to management.  Pay us and take away the sales consultant doing the financing. Not only are you loosing money in f and I your loosing sales because of the time it takes to do a deal. Start a deal at noon your done at 4 to 5.  How can you sell multiple cars if your so busy babysitting customers with all the paperwork and strict  policies. They don't even take credit card or even deposits.  They make it hard for customers to buy a car too many obstacles. They believe they have 8 apps to help you sell cars.  That's great but car sales is a people business and that place is ran like a museum of nature and science that sells cars on occasion.

I signed up to attend a hiring event at Holman's Houston office. After an interview with a manager, I was sent to take a skills assessment afterwards. I was offered the role the next day along with 4 other candidates. 

They have comprehensive training and provide all the tools you need to succeed. My manager was a good mentor and an overall awesome manager. Also, HER manager (he interviewed me initially) also made my time with the company great. He was so motivational and had a strong fun/professional leadership style. 

Holman Automotive is a well established family owned company with GREAT core values. Many companies have core values but Holman actually embodies its values from top management down to customer engagement coordinators.

The job itself taught me many new skills and was never dull. The thing I appreciated most about working here is they recognize your achievements and offer tools to boost productivity instead of micromanaging. I was able to attain many valuable skills in my time with Holman. If you are competitive, like sales, and don't mind working retail hours (shifts are anywhere from 7am-9pm), you'll love working here. 

I unfortunately had to resign due to health reasons and interference with school course load. Overall, it was a positive and memorable experience. 

Overall very good company, like any other job hard work pays off.
Read most of the reviews on here and there right. Management can be hard on you yet the go to guy if needed. All supervisors are long time employees so they do know what they are doing. There will be times they don't know build specs but that Isnt on them, they just get instruction from the higher up and its always changing per customers request. 

  You do have to work like any job, if your too slow to keep up with production chances are you will be let go. I seen plenty off people come and go some with in few days to there 90 days. If work is slow as in work orders chances are they might let some people go. 

Raises depends on how you are as a worker, the hardest working ones that are willing to do things and more are the ones that get the good raise. so if you get .10 cents step up.

I started as a porter as the position i applied for was full and was offered this till a opening popped up, but it was to simple for me so i applied myself and worked with my supervisors in the inspection side helping out and learning. Year later company made a inspection position for me. On my 3rd year i was sadly let go.

-Get there early, clock in, get organized, quickly. Better to have your a game in advance.
-The more you think you know, the less you actually do know. Just when you think you've got a build in hand, they'll take you off what you know, and put you on something foreign. 
-The management is apparently supposed to be alpha class. Never saw any real physical evidence of that, just a lot of smoke and mirrors.
-De-evolve to evolve. Hired on at hourly, with letter stating amount, then forced piecerate. Watched people stand around all day everyday texting and talking, making dollars an hour more than me, while giving it everything I had everyday, always told I wasnt fast enough. 
-Forced piecerate on first time one-off builds and rode hard for not being fast enough, never got to get fast, took it as meaning not psychic enough. 
-The people in the trenches. Some world class fabricators, welders, electrical geniuses, awesome human beings, all being run down over time and made to feel like they're not good enough while management and corporate shine on about how successful they are, and what a great place autotruck is to work for.

I generally run the service department without the supervisor title or pay. I deal with most customers/drivers because I know most of them. I assign the work to the technicians below me as well as work on the trucks/equipment myself. I am also responsible for some of the administrative work on the computer reviewing time from the previous day to the time on the jobs as well as the discipline as needed. Everything I have learned in the service department I have learned on my own because I didn't have anyone to teach me when I move to service.

The leaders in the company such as the CEO and the President are the greatest people I have met and treat you like your family.

The hardest part of my job is talking to customer or the drivers and letting them know that we are waiting for parts to complete the work on their unit. the most enjoyable part of my job is I have a lot of respect from my fellow technicians and most of the management.

Side note: I love what I do and love the company I work for.
